SECURITY GUARD CHARGED WITH MURDER

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

An off-duty security guard was charged Sunday with the murder of a fellow resident in a Near North Side hotel for men, according to Belmont Area violent crimes detectives. Dewey Smith, 49, an employee of the Professional Detective Agency, 809 W. Madison St., was being held pending a court appearance Monday. Detectives said the victim, Ed Pizzaro, 30, was shot once in the chest last week after an argument at the Olympia Hotel, 613 N. Wells St., where both men lived. Police said Pizzaro screamed at Smith and opened his shirt to provide a target before Smith fired one shot.
